Joliet to open electronics recycling site Tuesday; ‘pent-up demand’ seen

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet residents will get two hours to rid themselves of old TVs at a new electronics recycling site that opens Tuesday.

It is the first day of a recycling drop-off program that will be available from 5 to 7 p.m. every second and fourth Tuesday of the month.

The Joliet City Council this week approved an agreement with Will County, which will oversee the Joliet site as one of its four electronics collection sites.

People can bring up to two TVs on one day and as many other electronics as they want to the site, which is in a county parking lot at the northwest corner of Ottawa and Marion streets. The lot is across the street from the Will County Jail.

People with electronics to recycle should use the address 57 W. Marion St. to get directions online for the site, said Meg McEvilly, purchasing and contract administrator for the city of Joliet.

If you go n WHAT: New Joliet electronics recycling site n WHERE: County parking lot on the northwest corner of Ottawa and Marion streets.

Use 57 W. Marion St. to look for directions online. n WHEN: 5 to 7 p.m. only. Do not drop off items when the collection site is not open.

Drop-off days will be every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. n COST: Free n WHAT TO BRING: No more than two TVs but as many other electronics items as desired. n WHO CAN COME: Bring an ID to show you live in Joliet or another town that is at least partially in Will County.

McEvilly said she does not know what to expect Tuesday, but she knows a lot of people are looking for ways to get rid of old TVs. “I believe, from calls that we have gotten, that there is a pent-up demand for

this,” McEvilly said.

TVs and other electronics were banned from landfills starting in 2012.

The county started a recycling program then, but drop-off sites were shut down earlier this year when its recycling vendor left the business.

“People have no place to take their electronics,” McEvilly said. “We get a lot of phone calls: ‘What do I do with my TV?’ People put them out in alleys and not necessarily outside of their home. People have put them on the curbs.”

The county has been adding sites again with a new vendor. Other locations are in Lockport, Romeoville, New Lenox Township and Peotone.

Will County does not charge a fee to use the site, although some counties do charge fees because of the rising costs of recycling electronics.

Those who use the collection sites should bring identification, such as a driver’s license or state ID, to show they live in a town that is in Will County. Joliet residents who live in Kendall County can use the site, too.

Lincoln-Way D-210 seeking on-site child care services

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way District 210 officials plan to seek providers for on-site child care services at the three high schools for next school year.

At Thursday’s board meeting, Superintendent Scott Tingley discussed a Request For Quotation for a three- to five-year agreement for child care services at the three campuses for a minimum annual fee of $60,000 from the provider.

Tingley gave a timeline to the board on the selection process, saying a recommendation must be presented to the board by Dec. 15. Board President Dee Molinare said she thought the direction of the board is to pursue the RFQ. Tingley said proposals for child care services would be due by Nov. 10 and that interviews of providers would take place between Nov. 14 and Nov. 23.

“If we are going to move forward, we would want a very reliable business in place,” he said.

“Otherwise, it’s going to cause much more headaches and problems than not doing it at all.”

In late August, the board approved a controversial agreement with Aunt Nancy’s Child Care, with an annual remittance to the district of $60,000 – $30,000 lower than what the board previously discussed.

Residents objected to the agreement, along with board member Christopher Lucchetti – who was the lone vote against the agreement – because the remittance was too low.

Long-term bonds

Tingley also brought up discussion of restructuring the district’s long-term bonds that he said were used to construct North and West high schools.

He told the board that the bond and interest rates will increase in the future and that the bonds were put in place with the assumption there would be growth in overall assessed property values, which has not occurred.

“Right now, the interest rates are at a historical low, and so it might be worth a discussion,” Tingley said.

He said district officials would investigate options to restructure them so residents would not see significant increases on taxes over the years.

“Without [overall assessed property values] coming in and if interest rates started to move up when we hit those bumps up on those bonds, we could be hitting a perfect storm,” board member Joe Kirkeeng said.

He said the ability to discuss those options now would be “very penny wise versus potentially being pound foolish.”

Store, parking lot crowded at big-box retailer with new-prototype layout

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Bill Williams navigated his way Thursday through the new, jam-packed Blain’s Farm & Fleet in Romeoville, looking for a few random items.

Aisles were so congested with shoppers pushing carts and getting familiar with the store that they could’ve used turn signals to get around more easily.

“See what happens when they have chocolate-covered raisins on sale?”

Williams said.

He was alluding to the abundance of deals the big-box retailer touted as part of its three-day grand opening.

The store officially opened Oct. 13, but the grand opening extravaganza began Thursday and runs through Saturday.

The store’s entry doors opened so frequently as customers came and went that the aroma of a Weber grill demonstration outside could be detected throughout the building.

Shoppers could be seen filling out sweepstakes forms in most sections of the store. Blain’s was giving away $150 in gift cards every hour and a grand prize $10,000 shopping spree.

Checkout lines extended Thursday as far as 50 feet from the registers.

Shoppers were directed by staff to open registers, similar to a baggage check-in at an airport. Shopping carts were filled with anything from children’s toys to power tools.

Williams found a large “Frozen” coloring book for his 2-year-old granddaughter. He said he wanted to save it for her Christmas gift, but he knew her face would light up as soon as she saw it later Thursday.

After that find, Williams found a decent deal on ammunition. He said ammunition prices have gone up in recent years. He was disappointed there weren’t any firearms on sale.

“I’m from Minnesota, and the Blain’s stores in Minnesota and Wisconsin do have a great firearm selection,” Williams said.

But Williams, a Romeoville resident, did enjoy the store and its vast array of products. He said that a few

Judges, attorneys continue to study law

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Order in the ... lecture hall?

About 80 lawyers and judges attended the Will County Bar Association’s Fall Leadership Conference on Thursday at the University of St. Francis in Joliet.

“The law is always changing, and all of us are required to participate in continuing legal education and attend 30 hours of classes every two years,” defense attorney Donald DeWilkins said.

Some conferences address specific legal questions or procedures, while others provide a general overview of a program or issue.

Thursday’s sessions addressed “Service to the Public by Legal Leaders” and included presentations by Illinois Supreme Court Justices Thomas Kilbride and Anne Burke, and Chief Justice Rita Garman.

“When you have three Supreme Court justices appearing outside their courtroom, it’s a big deal,” Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said.

Other speakers included Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, who is an attorney, and local attorney Vincent Cornelius, who is president of the Illinois State Bar Association.

Appellate Court Justice Mary K. O’Brien wanted to ensure that local attorneys are aware of the Lawyer Assistance Program, which provides resources to those struggling with ad-

Will County legal professionals attend a conference Thursday at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. The Will County Bar Association offered a program to educate members about changes and issues in the legal system. diction or mental health issues. According to a study by the Betty Ford Foundation and American Bar Association, twice as many lawyers report drug or alcohol problems as the general population.

Less than 10 percent of people in most careers experience depression, compared with 28 percent of lawyers,

O’Brien said.

Attendees also became more familiar with the state’s new policies allowing greater “access to justice” for people going through civil proceedings without a lawyer. Access to Justice also is the name of the program designed to assist them.

“The initial reaction is to think law-

yers should just [try to] get hired, but the reality is self-represented litigants are not going away,” Judge Jessica Colon-Sayre said. “When they can’t navigate the system, it causes a lot of delay, so the volunteer program available in the law library and [assistance of] law students makes it easier for everybody.”

Wilmington sued after children drown near city dam

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The family of two Joliet children who drowned near the Wilmington Dam has sued the city of Wilmington for $1 million.

According to a lawsuit, filed Thursday, the city should have been aware of the dangerous conditions near the dam on the Kankakee River before Abigail Arroyo, 13, and Eder Arroyo, 12, drowned May 30 while their family was at South Island Park.

“This was a horrible tragedy, but it was preventable,” attorney Katherine Cardenas said in a statement. “Eder and Abigail will never get the chance to grow up. The city knew the dam was

unsafe, they knew of up to 20 other people who have drowned there, but did nothing to stop this tragedy from happening. We want justice for these two children and their family.”

According to the lawsuit, the dam has not been operational or providing power for more than 10 years. The state evaluated conditions and proposed structural options for the dam in a published report titled, “Evaluation of Public Safety at Run-of-River Dams” in July 2007, but Wilmington did not implement any of those recommendations. “[The city] showed an utter indifference to the safety of the public by inviting the public to a dangerous and deadly location,” the lawsuit claims, stating

“These types of dams are deadly, and the city of Wilmington has known that for decades. We are working to prevent these types of tragedies from happening to anyone ever again.”

John Risvold

Attorney for family suing city that Wilmington did not place warning signs to anyone entering the park from the south, had no lifeguard, ropes or life jackets near the dam and failed to

install barriers around the dam itself.

“The city willfully allowed this to happen,” attorney John Risvold said in a statement. “These types of dams are deadly, and the city of Wilmington has known that for decades. We are working to prevent these types of tragedies from happening to anyone ever again.”

Since 1982, 19 people have drowned in the river near the dam, and at least 20 others have been rescued in that area, according to the lawsuit.

An employee for the attorney who represents Wilmington in civil matters referred questions to City Administrator Tony Graff, who did not immediately return a message left Thursday seeking comment.

Lockport plans to draw on its reserves for capital improvements set for 2017

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – Lockport has proposed a budget that once again draws from its reserves for what the mayor calls an “aggressive” but necessary capital improvement projects schedule for 2017.

According to the budget, presented Wednesday by Finance Director Lisa Heglund to the City Council’s Committee of the Whole, the city expects to take in about $42.7 million in the 2017 fiscal and expects to spend about $58.6 million.

The city will be drawing about $11.85 million from its excess reserves to help balance its funds and pay for projects.

There will be a budget hearing at the council’s meeting Nov. 2, and a vote is set for its Nov. 16 meeting. The detailed budget is available on the city’s website.

Heglund, calling it a “break-even budget,” said the city continues to maintain reserves in its funds, including meeting its goal of having a fourmonth operating expenses reserve of

“We don’t want to put money into a pot and sit on it, like leprechauns.”

Steven Streit Lockport mayor

$7.5 million.

“The city will continue to draw down excess fund balance, which has accumulated over the past few years,” according to a memo attached with Heglund’s presentation. “This is not a structural deficit; it simply means that the city is spending down additional money that management and elected officials view as above and beyond what is needed as a reserve balance of four months of operating expenses.”

In 2014, the city approved a capital improvement plan that proposed to spend about $50 million from 2014 to 2020 on road construction and resurfacing and water and sewer projects.

Twenty-four projects, totaling a cost of about $22 million, are scheduled for the next year, which will be paid for

through various funds as well as some grants. But some of them probably will end up being pushed into the beginning of 2018, Mayor Steven Streit said.

For example, the city’s plan to replace water mains on State and Ninth streets in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation’s project to improve and widen State Street, scheduled for next summer, as well as the city’s subsequent streetscape plans for that area – totaling about $5.1 million – probably will move into 2018, Streit said.

After the meeting, Streit said the budget was “great” and “works within our means.” He added that he likes the “aggressive schedule of capital improvement projects,” which are necessary for an old city requiring major im-

“We don’t want to put money into a pot and sit on it, like leprechauns,” he said.

However, as the city continues to move forward with projects, its reserves continue to shrink.

In 2014, the city had about $22 million in excess reserves – those beyond its four-month reserve goal – and projects to have about $13.2 million at the end of fiscal 2016, Heglund said. With the proposed 2017 budget, that is expected to drop to $2.7 million.

“After 2019, the city will have to find another source to fund projects,” Heglund said in a later interview.

This brought Streit to open a discussion with the committee on whether the city needs to set a minimum excess reserve amount for each fund, after which it would resort to new bonds to pay for projects.

Committee members agreed that, although there is no simple solution, the city would continue to work on answering that question with further discussion and research.

“I came back [to District 8], and it’s still the same,” Thompson said. “Young people don’t have jobs they can go to in order to stay out of trouble. There’s nothing here, and that bothers me.”

Thompson was working in social services for the Joliet Housing Authority, but said he was ”dumbfounded” when he was laid off last year. He said he was told a social services person wasn’t needed.

“We need social services on ‘The Hill’ and other areas,” Thompson said.

If elected, he said, he will fight to bring programs for young people to District 8 that help them stay productive. He also wants to improve conditions for District 8 seniors.

He said he identifies as a Republican because he doesn’t believe the government should be giving residents “everything.”

“You have to go out and make things happen,” Thompson said. “I love the Republican Party because I understand what Abraham Lincoln was about.”

He said he asks kids in District 8 whether Lincoln was a Republican or Democrat, and they usually say Democrat. Lincoln was a Republican.

He also plans to draw on the history of the area when protecting residents.

His family has been in the Joliet area since 1883.

“It’s important, whoever the voters

decide to elect, that the person knows the history of Joliet and its problems,” Talarico said, “such as the 26 percent unemployment rate in the early 1980s; when the steel mill closed; and when gas was purchased every other day based on your address.”

Dollinger said that if elected, she wants to help guide the county toward a better transportation system, which will help job market growth. She wants to increase access to public transportation, if possible, and is concerned about roadway safety.

JOLIET – Four candidates are on the Nov. 8 ballot seeking election to one of two four-year terms to serve Will County Board District 10.

Both of the district’s seats are up for grabs because two longtime Joliet Democrats are not seeking re-election. Tyler Joseph Babich is retir- Marcum ing after 34 years on the board, while Steve Wilhelmi has served since 2003.

District 10 runs mostly east to west.

The east end begins in the area where Routes 52 and 30 intersect in Joliet, and the district runs west to the Kendall County border. It includes parts of Joliet, Troy and Plainfield townships.

The candidates are Tyler Marcum, D-Joliet; Joe Carlasare, D-Joliet; David Talarico, R-Joliet; and Gloria Dollinger, R-Joliet.

Marcum currently serves on the Joliet Township High School District 204 board. He said that if elected to represent District 10, he wants to make sure tax dollars are spent responsibly and to help maintain the county’s AA+ bond rating.

In a Shaw Media questionnaire, Marcum said Babich and Wilhelmi have represented District 10 with a strong, sensible voice – a tradition he plans to continue. He also said his experience on the school board has taught him how to budget in spite of uncertain funding from the state.

Carlasare is a practicing attorney who said Joe he was raised to believe Carlasare that public service is important – his mother was a teacher and his father was a firefighter. He said he views the present as a “make or break time” for Will County.

He noted the county’s extensive plans for capital projects that could total hundreds of millions of dollars in the coming decade, with the state in horri-

• Carbon Hill: 4 to 7 p.m.

• Channahon: 4 to 7 p.m.

• Coal City: 4 to 7 p.m.

In addition to door-to-door neighborhood trick-or-treating, fun organized events abound throughout Grundy County.

Halloween Spooktacular

Vendors will circle their vehicles in the YMCA’s parking lots with trunks open and facing inward, and area children, dressed in their costumes, will skip from vendor to vendor to collect their candy.

There also will be Halloween-themed games, face painting, prizes and giveaways, and a bouncy house with an obstacle course.

Kids and their parents, who also are encouraged to dress up, also can run the Monster Dash around the block for prizes and medals. Representatives from the YMCA’s partner, Morris Hospital, will be on hand as well to award a Best Trunk Prize. The YMCA also will be open for tours.

“It gives the community a safe place for kids to come trick-or-treating,” Porzel said, “and another excuse for kids to wear their costumes. It’s also a good chance for us to show them what we offer here at the Y.” Parents can use the opportunity to sign up their children for one of the many YMCA offerings as well, such as the new Irish Dance Class, for children ages 4 to 12, that begins Nov. 11.

The Halloween Spooktacular, sponsored by the Morris YMCA, is Saturday in the facility’s parking lots at 320 Wauponsee St. The event is free.

This, the second annual Halloween celebration for the YMCA, promises to be bigger than the first one, according to Family and Community Engagement Haunted Hallways Director Sarah Porzel, with 23 vendors Another popular trick-or-treating offering candy and giveaways. event will be from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tues-

“It’s a nice evening and a positive experience,” Principal Mitch Mamann said. “It’s a way to get smaller kids a chance to go trick-or-treating without worrying about the weather.”

The first year of the event saw about 650 children participate, Mamann said, and the second year had about 1,000.

“It really has taken off,” he said.

The event is a community service, but also a fundraiser, and dollars donated go to FBLA activities, such as student participation in the national conference.

The HERALD–NEWS PLAINFIELD – A burglary suspect who had fled Plainfield has been found dead in Chicago, authorities said.

The Plainfield Police Department responded at 9:43 a.m. Thursday to the 23000 block of Ottawa Street regarding a residential burglary in progress, according to a department news release.

While en route, it was reported that the offender, a man, removed a firearm from a home and already had fled from the scene in a vehicle. A description of the vehicle and offender was relayed to officers, who immediately began searching the area.

Based on the close proximity of several local schools, officers asked that they go into a “soft lockdown” as a pre-

caution until it was determined that the suspect no longer was in the area.

Officers were able to identify a possible suspect and potential locations where the man may have been trying to flee outside of Plainfield’s jurisdiction. Other police agencies were notified, and the man eventually was found dead in the Chicago Police Department’s 12th District, which is on the city’s near West Side, the news release stated. The release did not identify the suspect.

Plainfield police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding the burglary, while Chicago police handle the death investigation.

Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call Plainfield police at 815-436-6544.

days ago, he found a muscle gel used for horses that gave him some pain relief.

He joked that he may start neighing and galloping.

He also noted the brand-new layout, different from the other Blain’s stores he’s visited.

The 120,690-square-foot building is Blain’s new prototype store. The exterior has modern barn features, while the interior is better designed for customer flow. There’s also a drive-thru outside for customer pickup, which is a feature new to Blain’s.

“We pride ourselves on being a ‘modern general store,’ and with the new layout and adjacencies, we feel the customer shopping experience will be even more fun and enjoyable,” Kristin Mickelson, PR and events manager for Blain’s Farm & Fleet, stated in a news release about the opening.

Companies such as Carhartt, Charbroil, Irwin, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Craftsman, Hobart, Weston and Pirelli had demonstration tents outside Thursday.

Parking was difficult to find, and it has been that way since Oct. 13, according to Romeoville Mayor John Noak.

The village believes that Blain’s will bring many people from throughout the south suburbs, and perhaps farther, to

Morris’ new top cop

John Severson named city’s new police chief

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When John Severson was hired as a part-time dispatcher with the Morris Police Department in November 1991, he had no idea he would one day be the town’s top cop.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said Severson has been an exemplary officer and served as both a sergeant and a deputy chief, which made him the obvious choice to replace retired police chief Brent Dite.

“He really stepped up when Chief Dite took his new job at the Grundy Area Vocational Center,” Kopczick said. “I’d like to see him continue to grow with our department.”

Severson became a full-time dispatcher by 1993, and by 1995 he was a full-time patrol officer.

“When you move through your career, you look to the next level to move on to,” Severson said. “I had no idea I would ever be chief.”

Severson’s career path took him from patrolman to detective, to corporal, back to patrolman before being named sergeant in 2005 and deputy chief in 2013.

“I was very happy with deputy chief,” Severson said. “I thought I had at least another four years with the title before Chief Dite would retire.”

Dite’s retirement came as a surprise to many, but the opportunity to become an educator – teaching those who have an eye on criminal justice – was too good to pass up, Dite said.

Dite officially retired Monday after 28 years.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

The Morris City Council on Monday unanimously approved John Severson as the new police chief.

Monday night, the mayor appointed Severson to the position, passing with a 7-0 vote by City Council. Alderman Bill Martin was absent.

Dite said that Severson has worked his way through the ranks and is a man of integrity who he feels will do a

great job in the position.

“John is a great family man who has come up through the ranks and held just about every job in the department there is,” Dite said. “His integrity and work ethic are second to none.”

Severson said that when the mayor came to him, he was apprehensive about taking the job.

“I didn’t know why I was apprehensive, but I think it was because following a good boss is more difficult than following a bad one, and Brent [Dite] was a great boss,” Severson said.

Severson, who has been preparing for the transition, said one of his biggest goals is to keep the ship sailing in the right direction.

“We have worked hard to get the department heading in the right direction, and I want to keep it heading that way,” he said. “I want to keep doing the things we’re doing right.”

He said he and Dite have worked hard to get technology and equipment to where it needs to be, but he realizes it will be an ongoing task as technology and equipment change with the times.

Severson said he already has started looking at helmets and special plates for the officers’ vests that will help to ensure their safety.

“With increased violence across the nation toward police officers, I worry about their safety,” he said. “The responsibility is mine if something goes bad, I have to take that on.”

Severson said he and Dite have had many of the same ideas, and together they achieved many of the goals they set forth for the department.

Dite said Severson’s strongest attribute is that he cares not only about the staff of the department, but also about the people of Morris.

“He comes to work every day with a purpose,” Dite said.

Niko the newest member of Morris police force

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After six weeks of training, Niko, a Dutch shepherd, has joined the ranks of patrolling officers for the Morris Police Department.

Mark Vanderploeg, coincidentally also of Dutch heritage, took on the responsibility of being Niko’s partner, a 24-hour-a-day, seven-days-a-week job.

“I was talking with [police officer Patrick] Funk about his dog, and I know a dog is a great resource to get drugs off the street,” Vanderploeg said.

“When I heard the department was getting another dog, I thought I would like to be his partner.”

When Niko completed training, it was clear to his partner that he liked his job of finding drugs.

When the scent of cannabis, heroin, meth, crack or cocaine hits his nose, Niko gets excited.

Vanderploeg said the dogs are trained not only in drug seeking, but also tracking and article search. But Niko’s excitement shines through when he finds the drugs.

“He’s going to be an outstanding resource for the department,” now-former Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said. (Dite retired Monday and was replaced by John Severson as police chief.)

Dite said that, in addition to adding a second K-9 in Morris, a dog also can help at traffic stops conducted by other agencies, outside of Morris, that do not have K-9 officers.

Funk has responded to several calls on Interstate 80 to check out cars stopped by the Illinois State Police. The

addition of Vanderploeg to the K-9 unit will allow access to a drug-seeking dog seven days a week.

Vanderploeg, who always has ridden solo in his police vehicle like other Morris police officers, said having the dog in the car is something that takes getting used to.

It’s someone else to think about, just as with any partner. The difference being Vanderploeg has to walk this one on breaks he’s not used to taking.

He said he thinks the fact that both he and the dog had no clue what they were doing as they started training was beneficial.

“Both of us knew nothing – they’ve taught me how to train him,” he said.

Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com Training will continue twice a month with group training with other Niko, Morris’ new K-9 officer, graduated K-9 officers and their human counter- training and took to the streets with his parts. partner Oct. 8.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state State senators aim to ban campaigning by directors

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois state senators from different parties have introduced legislation that would ban state agency directors and other high-level gubernatorial appointees from campaigning for political candidates.

The proposal wouldn’t put new restrictions on officials’ financial donations to campaigns but would bar them from appearing in commercials or participating in political events. It was modeled after the federal Hatch Act, a 1939 law that limits the political activities of federal employees, and similar laws exist in 43 other states.

Democratic state Sen. Andy Manar and Republican state Sen. Sam McCann announced the proposal Wednesday, saying it’s an important expansion of Illinois’ ethics laws.

“I’m of the opinion that agency directors should not spend their time campaigning,” Manar said. “They should

spend their time managing the agencies that they have been entrusted to run and to manage when the Senate confirmed their appointments.”

He said the measure is similar to restrictions at the federal level and in other states.

The lawmakers said the issue isn’t about any one party or election but that they decided to push for the change after various cabinet members named by Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner recently appeared in campaign materials on behalf of GOP candidates.

“This is good government,” McCann said. “This is what we should do regardless of who’s in control.”

A spokeswoman for Rauner said the governor “welcomes any discussion to reform our political process.”

Kirk: Trump’s stance on election results ‘delusional’

CHICAGO – Republican U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk said Donald Trump’s refusal to say he’ll accept the outcome of election is another sign the GOP presidential candidate is “unprepared and unfit to be commander in chief.”

Kirk said Thursday that he will accept the results of his own race for re-election against Democrat Tammy Duckworth.

Q: What harm did the hacking and mandating more complex passwords. do?

A: Voting machines aren’t Q: Are Illinois election offionline, so hackers weren’t going to be able to change or cials taking extra precautions delete votes, Menzel said. The because of Trump’s warnings?

A: It doesn’t seem to be the chief concern, he said, was that the hackers were engaging in standard identity theft, and election officials sent notices to any voters whose information might have been stolen.

Q: Who were the hackers?

A: Illinois officials said they

don’t know, although speculation has focused on Russia.

“The FBI and Homeland Security are working feverishly on the who,” Menzel said. “We are more interested in the how.”

Officials spent weeks upgrading security procedures for the database, including requiring managers to always use a two-step authorization process to get into the database

Kirk said the U.S. has peacefully transitioned power from one president to the next “since the end of George Washington’s presidency.” He said, “only someone as delusional as Donald Trump would believe he is the exception to this rule.”

Trump wouldn’t commit during Wednesday’s debate to accepting the results of the election. On Thursday he said he’ll do so “if I win.”

Kirk was one of the first Republicans to un-endorse Trump and has been a vocal critic.

Illinois unemployment rate holds at 5.5 percent

CHICAGO – State officials said the unemployment rate in Illinois held steady at 5.5 percent in September and the number of jobs in the state grew.

The Illinois Department of Employment Security said Thursday in its monthly unemployment report that the state added 7,400 jobs since August and has added 43,400 jobs since September 2015.

The report noted that the largest job gains were in service-related sectors and that manufacturing firms and financial-activities companies cut more jobs than they added.

Department Director Jeff Mays said the state’s job growth remains “uneven.”

case. Menzel said it’s healthy to have “a reasonable level of paranoia” heading into Election Day, but hasn’t noticed more than usual.

Standard precautions include polling station workers that are supplemented by watchers dispatched by political parties to guard against voting intimidation or fraud.

It’s also standard for voting machines to be tested and retested.

“Every couple years, there are people who ... say, ‘The elections are being stolen,’ ” Menzel said, but noted such claims invariably lack specifics, which makes it hard for officials to respond.

Illinois’ jobless rate has now either fallen or held steady for five straight months.

The national unemployment rate for September was up slightly to 5 percent.

Chicago teachers union delegates OK contract

CHICAGO – The Chicago Teachers Union House of Delegates has endorsed a tentative contract agreement reached with the city’s school district.

According to the union, the delegates Wednesday approved the four-year deal by a 2-1 ratio. The contract proposal now will go before the union’s approximately 28,000 members Oct. 27 for final approval.

The four-year proposal averted a strike that would have affected about 390,000 students. It includes cost-of-living increases in the third and fourth years. It doesn’t require current teachers to pay more toward their pensions – a change Chicago Public Schools was seeking and the union rejected.

Future CPS hires would pick up that additional pension cost. The tentative agreement also addresses class sizes for younger grades by assigning an assistant to any class with more than 32 students.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS bar, authorities said Thursday.

Watchdog: EPA delayed for 7 months in Flint crisis Officer Dominique HeagWASHINGTON – The Environmental Protection Agency had sufficient authority and information to issue an emergency order to protect residents of Flint, Michigan, from lead-contaminated water as early as June 2015 – seven months before it declared an emergency, the EPA’s inspector general said Thursday.

The Flint crisis should have generated “a greater sense of urgency” at the agency to “intervene when the safety of drinking water is compromised,” Inspector General Arthur Elkins said in an interim report.

Flint’s drinking water became tainted when the city began drawing from the Flint River in April 2014 to save money. The impoverished city of 100,000 north of Detroit was under state control at the time.

Growing calls for railroad probe in wake of crash

TRENTON, N.J. – New Jersey’s commuter railroad is facing growing calls for more scrutiny at federal and state levels amid questions about its safety after one of its trains crashed into a station last month, killing a woman on the platform and injuring more than 100.

New Jersey lawmakers on Thursday voted to grant themselves subpoena power as they begin to look into the Sept. 29 crash at Hoboken Terminal.

And U.S. Sens. Bob Menendez and Cory Booker, both of New Jersey, on Wednesday asked federal officials to investigate safety and funding issues within NJ Transit.

Trump says he’ll accept elections results if he wins The ASSOCIATED PRESS DELAWARE, Ohio – Mocking his critics, Donald Trump pledged Thursday to fully accept the outcome of next month’s presidential election – if he wins. The Republican said he reserved the right to contest questionable results, deepening his unsubstantiated assertions that the race against Hillary Clinton could be rigged against him.

Trump’s comments came a day after his stunning refusal in the final presidential debate to say whether he would concede to Clinton if he loses. His resistance, threatening to undermine the essence of American democracy, was roundly rejected by fellow Republicans.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, the 2008 GOP nominee, called the peaceful transfer of power “the pride of our country.”

“I didn’t like the outcome of the 2008 election. But I had a duty to concede, and I did so without reluctance,” McCain said in a lengthy statement.

“A concession isn’t just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader’s first responsibility.”

With the presidential race slipping away from him, Trump has repeatedly raised the specter of a rigged election, despite no evidence of widespread voter fraud heading toward Election Day or in previous presidential contests. His top advisers and running mate Mike Pence have tried to soften his comments, only to watch helplessly as he plunges ahead.

Asked in Wednesday’s debate if he would accept the election results and concede to Clinton if he loses, Trump said: “I will tell you at the time.

I will keep you in suspense.”

Clinton slammed Trump’s comments as “horrifying,” and fellow Democrats piled on Thursday.

“That undermines our democracy,” President Barack Obama said while campaign-

His wife, first lady Michelle Obama, told 7,000 Clinton supporters in Republican-voting Arizona on Thursday that Trump was threatening to “ignore our voices and reject the outcome of this election.” She said that’s the same as “threatening the very idea of America itself.”

Trump’s comments overshadowed his attempts to diminish Clinton’s credibility during the debate. He entered the contest desperate to reshape the race and attract new voters who are deeply skeptical of his brash temperament and fitness for office, but it appeared unlikely he accomplished those goals.

Campaigning Thursday in must-win Ohio, Trump tried to make light of the situation.

“I would like to promise and pledge to all of my voters and supporters and to all of the people of the United States that I will totally accept the results of this great and historic presidential election,” he said. After letting that vow hang in the air for a few seconds, he added, “If I win.”

The Republican nominee said he would accept “a clear election result” but reserved his right to “contest or file a legal challenge” if he loses.

He brushed off the likelihood

of that happening with a confident prediction that “we’re not going to lose.”

Yet numerous Republican leaders concede Trump is heading for defeat barring a significant shift in the campaign’s closing days. The GOP’s top concern now is salvaging its majority in the Senate, followed closely by worries over the Republicans’ once comfortable grip on the House.

“The landscape has gotten a lot tougher for Republicans in the House,” said Liesl Hickey, a Republican strategist involved some of those races. In Pennsylvania, Sen. Pat Toomey said Trump’s comments were “irresponsible.”

Maine Gov. Paul LePage called Trump’s comments an “absolute stupid move” and advised him to “take your licks and let’s move on.”

U.S. elections are run by local elected officials – Republicans, in many of the most competitive states.

Trump’s campaign pointed to Al Gore and George W. Bush in 2000 as an example of why it would be premature for Trump to say he’d acquiesce Nov. 8.

That election, which played out for weeks until the Supreme Court weighed in, didn’t center on allegations of fraud, but on proper vote-counting after an extremely close outcome in Florida led to a mandatory recount.

The sign outside the National Security Agency campus is seen June 6, 2013, in Fort Meade, Md. The Justice Department said a former National Security Agency’s theft of top secret information was “breathtaking” in its scope. if Martin were freed he “could seek refuge with a foreign government willing to shield him from facing justice.”

“Given the nature of his offenses and knowledge of national secrets, he presents tremendous value to any foreign power that may wish to shelter him within or outside of the United States,” prosecutors said.

A detention hearing was scheduled for Friday afternoon in Baltimore. Martin’s attorneys said he never intended to betray his country and does not pose a danger or flight risk. They said Martin, a former lieutenant in the U.S. Navy, does not have a valid passport and dismissed as “fantastical scenarios” concerns that he might flee.

Iraqi special forces join battle; U.S. soldier dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS BARTELLA, Iraq – In a significant escalation of the battle for Mosul, elite Iraqi special forces joined the fight Thursday, unleashing a predawn assault on an Islamic State-held town east of the besieged city, and the U.S. military announced the first American combat death since the operation began.

U.S. officials said the American service member died Thursday from wounds sustained in a roadside bomb explosion north of Mosul. More than 100 U.S. special operations forces are embedded with Iraqi units in the offensive, and hundreds more are playing a support role in staging bases.

The American had been operating as an explosive ordnance disposal specialist in support of the Iraqi Kurdish force known as the peshmerga, the U.S. officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss details.

Roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices pose a particular danger to advancing Iraqi forces and the U.S. advisers who are with them.

The Islamic State group, which has occupied Mosul for more than two years,

was part of a multipronged operation on eastern approaches to Mosul, Iraq’s second-largest city. Attack helicopters strafed militant positions as they advanced amid a hail of gunfire.

The U.S.-trained special forces, officially known as the Counter Terrorism Service, are widely seen as Iraq’s most professional and least sectarian fighters, and have served as the shock troops in previous campaigns against IS. They are expected to lead the charge into Mosul.

IS militants unleashed at least nine suicide car and truck bombs against the advancing troops, eight of which were destroyed before reaching their targets, while the ninth struck an armored Humvee, Lt. Col Muntadhar al-ShimAP photo mari told The Associated Press.

He did not give a casualty figure, but Iraq’s elite counterterrorism forces advance Thursday near Mosul, Iraq.

WASHINGTON – A former National Security Agency contractor’s theft of top secret government information was “breathtaking in its longevity and scale,” federal prosecutors said in a court filing Thursday aimed at keeping the man locked up as the case moves forward. They said he took enough classified material to fill about 200 laptop computers.

The Justice Department also said it anticipated bringing additional charges against Harold T. Martin III, including charges under the Espionage Act, which would expose him to far harsher penalties if convicted. It described the evidence against him as “overwhelming” and said Martin admitted to investigators that he was illicitly storing classified materials.

The court papers offered new details about the enormous volume of information prosecutors believe Martin stole and revealed the Justice Department’s concern that Martin is or could be in contact with a foreign government. Prosecutors said Martin has had online communication in Russian and – raising the specter of a situation akin to previous NSA leaker Edward Snowden – said that

Martin was arrested at his Maryland home in August around the same time as federal officials acknowledged an investigation into a cyberleak of purported hacking tools used by the NSA. Those documents were leaked by a group calling itself the “Shadow Brokers,” but there is nothing in court filings that explicitly connects Martin to that group.

Prosecutors said agents who searched Martin’s home and car seized dozens of computers and electronic devices, then found classified government materials from 1996 to 2016 and some 50 terabytes of information – or enough to fill 200 laptops. One document marked as “Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information” included “specific operational plans against a known enemy of the United States,” according to the court filing.

The information includes an email chain marked as “Top Secret” that appeared to have been printed from an official government account. On the back of the document, prosecutors said, were handwritten notes describing the NSA’s classified computer infrastructure. The notes, which include basic concepts about classified information, appear “intended for an audience outside of the Intelligence Community,” the government said.

Remembering mom during Breast Cancer Awareness Month Note to readers: In 2013, Scott Reeder lost his mother to breast cancer. He wrote this column for the first Breast Cancer Awareness Month after her death. This updated piece runs to honor her and inform readers on what they can do.

My mother’s breathing was ragged.

I held her left hand with each labored gasp.

My dad, her husband of almost 59 years, gripped her right.

As she breathed slowly, shallowly, my dad cried out, “Save a place for me in heaven.”

Tears fell down the face of my sister, who sat at the foot of the bed.

We watched 79 years of life and an 11-year battle with breast cancer come to an end.

Our mother was gone.

The pictures on the bedroom wall spoke to what was important to mom: family.

Photos of each of her three children and their partners on their wedding days stood like sentinels overlooking her bed.

The faces of hers even grandkids peered out from picture frames.

A devoted husband looked on adoringly. Happy memories.

I thought of my three daughters – all of whom were born during mom’s long fight with cancer.

Days before her death, they stood at their grandmother’s bedside and sang “Jesus Loves Me.” But what will they remember about their grandma?

For me, June 2, 2013, always will be a day of sadness.

As I thumbed through the channels Sunday, I watched professional football players wearing pink gloves and cleats. But I’ve yet to don a pink shirt, this year, in memory of my mother, Roberta Reeder.

To be honest, sometimes I think all of the October pink ribbons, shirts and merchandise trivialize just how pernicious breast cancer really is. That said, I want my mother’s legacy to live on.

One good thing about Breast Cancer Awareness Month is it gets us thinking about what we

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Scott Reeder can do.

Here are some thoughts: • If you’re a woman, schedule your next mammogram today.

• Give a cancer patient the most important thing that you can: you. Cook a meal. Sit by a bedside. Comfort a family member.

• There are lots of charities that help folks with breast cancer.

Donate or volunteer. Your help is needed.

Folks from my hometown of Galesburg did all of those things for my family. It was most appreciated.

A cancer diagnosis can be overwhelming.

When Mom first received her terminal prognosis, the family was devastated.

Shortly after she was told the cancer was beyond cure, we had a birthday party for my eldest daughter.

Mom wept while she sang “Happy Birthday.” Dad’s voice cracked while saying grace.

My wife, Joan, thought of her mother, who died of breast cancer a few weeks before our wedding.

At times, during this long battle with cancer, I was at a loss to know what to say to my mom.

The only thing that seemed just right was, “I love you.”

The chemotherapy left her bald. Sores developed on her feet.

The cancer sapped her energy.

Nausea haunted her for years.

It was not an easy life. But it was one she endured without complaining.

Some folks call that courage. I call it character.

Despite her difficulties, mom always had a smile for her family.

When folks ask what I remember most, that’s it.

I love you, Mom.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR What’s next for space station?

To the Editor: What next for the International Space Station?

What is the biggest discovery attributed to the ISS? If memory serves me correctly, I can’t think of anything really major.

Maybe growing seeds in microgravity, microgravity combustion, drugs, or perfectly spherical bearings. The problem is since its microgravity, how is it applicable in a gravity environment on Earth? Even if we did do something major, what next for an encore?

With the advent of more powerful computers, AI (artificial intelligence) robotics, placing humans in space to do science may actually slow things down rather than speed things up in addition to the greater life support overhead that achieves little.

Now there are some pluses, such as unanticipated R&D spinoffs, greater harmony of nations through cooperation, exploring the final frontier, going where no man has gone before, and space tourism where people may pay big bucks and financially support the entire endeavor.

Sincerely,

Thomas Cechner Lockport

Political outsider observations

To the Editor: Although I’ve lived in Joliet for five years, I’m an outsider to Illinois politics, having grown up in Michigan. I didn’t start volunteering in local politics until last year. So when I attended the Democratic Party fundraiser held Oct. 7 in Joliet, Michael Madigan was the biggest name I’d heard of.

What surprised me was that a candidate for comptroller engaged my attention far more than anyone else. Susana Mendoza spoke warmly of her family and local upbringing, having graduated from Bolingbrook High School.

She takes great pride in serving as Chicago’s city clerk, where she saved the city money by streamlining the timing of its services, creating lower wait times and increasing profitability.

But what struck me the most was learning that her opponent, Leslie Munger, had taken advantage of an Illinois law that removes limits to campaign contributions, if the candidate or their family contributes more than $250,000 to their campaign. Munger’s husband wrote it a loan for $260,000, removing the cap. Mendoza rightly saw this as a sign she was being targeted as a serious threat to the governor’s way of doing business.

I think between Democrats and Republicans, we all know where the money is. A room filled with local Democrats could never approach the assets of a few tied-in Republicans – certainly not with less than a month remaining before the election. So it’s no surprise that after receiving her husband’s loan, Munger’s campaign gained $5 million from two billionaires, most of which she funneled to other Republican candidates.

Our form of government is founded on a system of checks and balances. I ask voters: who would place a more effective check on a governor who’s worked to evade democratic engagement? His hand-picked, appointed comptroller? Or an opposing, challenging voice, elected by the people?

Minooka is 25-5 after beating Plainfield South

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Minooka’s Kate Barker (10) prepares to set the ball against Plainfield South on Thursday at Plainfield South High School in Plainfield.

“We’re feeling pretty good about where we’re at right now,” Bachmann said. “We’ve had a few tough losses, but by losing in the beginning has made it easy for us to see what we’re doing wrong, and we’ve been cleaning that up lately and playing pretty well, so I think that we’re ready for the post-

season. Everyone on our team is really excited for the opportunity to play in this postseason.

“The teams that we lost to are really good, and a lot of other teams have played with us since everyone wants to beat us, and that’s what you get for being ranked high in the preseason.

Chemistry is a big thing for our team.

Obviously, we have a lot of Division I power hitters in the front row, but we struggled in the beginning with our passing and defense. We’re becoming a more scrappy team.”

JOLIET – Big things were expected from Minooka’s girls volleyball team from the outset of the season, and so far coach Carrie Prosek’s team has been up to the challenge.

The Indians capped a 13-1 Southwest Prairie Conference slate Thursday when they captured a 25-12, 25-10 win at Plainfield South to improve to 25-5 on the campaign.

Minooka takes part in this weekend’s Lyons Township Invite before going in as the top seed in the Class 4A Romeoville Sectional, which it opens Tuesday in the TF South Regional.

“I think that our confidence is up just from how the girls have been doing,” Prosek said. “The girls and I look forward to this weekend’s tournament since it can help us step up our game even more by playing tough competition. There’s not many tournaments this week but I really like this since I feel that it’s really good practice before regionals start.

“From here on out, it’s game-bygame, and volleyball is emotional, so things can change each day. Our scrimmages at practice have been just as tough as some of our games. We have great chemistry, and each girl respects each other. I truly believe that a lot of your success has to do with team chemistry. I remind the girls every day that it’s one day at a time, so we’re focusing on Lyons Township right now.”

In Thursday’s match, the Indians were led by Alli Papesh (nine kills, two blocks, six digs), Rocky Perinar (seven kills, five digs), Holly Bonde (eight kills, two blocks) and Brooklyn Bachmann (24 assists).

While ranked as one of the state’s top teams all year, the Indians believe they have improved a lot, which gives them plenty of confidence as they start the playoffs.

“I’m feeling really good about things since we’ve improved so much,” Bonde said. “Everything’s really coming together, and we’re jelling more as a team. It’s a lot of fun to play, and it’s so important when you go out and have fun with your team and also have good skills. Our coaches are doing everything they can to fully prepare us for the postseason. We just have to stay confident, and we should do good.

“We’re really going to have to be more focused now that we’re in the postseason since the competition is going to get tougher and tougher. We’ve played really good competition, but right now is really when it starts to count. We’re so close, and on and off the court we’re great friends. Our passers, setter and hitters are extremely good at their positions. So that creates a really good team atmosphere.”

South coach Amanda O’Boyle has seen encouraging signs of late, including a good second day at last weekend’s Minooka Invite and a three-set match with Oswego on Tuesday.

That gives her hope that the Cougars can compete with teams such as Lockport and Joliet West in the Joliet West Regional.

She looks to her four seniors, Sophie Berta, Melissa Jordan, Margaret Klebenow and Becca Langys, to lead the way in their darkhorse efforts to spring a surprise or two as the sectional’s 13th seed.

“Last Saturday at the Minooka tournament, we won all day,” O’Boyle said. “We took every game to three and finished. Then we played Oswego on Tuesday and took them to three and did amazing but just kind of fell short in some areas.

“So we have the potential to do it, we just have to show up. We need to have positive energy since that’s one thing that my girls feed off of. They have to be ready to go and have that energy from the beginning and can’t stop.”

JOLIET CENTRAL AT ROMEOVILLE Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Joliet Central 1-7, 1-7 in Southwest Prairie; Romeoville 3-5, 3-5 The skinny: Jordan Nettles has been running wild, leading Romeoville to a threegame win streak after the Spartans lost their first five. Nettles went for a school-record 291 yards last week in a 52-14 victory over Plainfield Central and has 1,246 yards for the season. Joliet Central will need a good offensive game to keep pace with the Spartans, who can be explosive.

The skinny: Bolingbrook pulled the Week 9 shocker a year ago when it knocked off unbeaten H-F, 22-21, to qualify for the playoffs. The question is whether the Raiders can generate the same magic again this season.

The Raiders’ defense will face an H-F offense whose lowest scoring outputs of the season are 27 points against Lincoln-Way West and 35 against Lincoln-Way East and Thornton.

Records: Oswego 8-0, 8-0 in Southwest Prairie; Plainfield Central 0-8, 0-8 AP rankings: Oswego is honorable mention in Class 8A. The skinny: The top and bottom of the Southwest Prairie get together to conclude the regular season.

Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Lincoln-Way West 5-3, 3-2 in SouthWest Suburban; Sandburg 3-5, 2-3 AP rankings: Lincoln-Way West is honorable mention in Class 7A. The skinny: Lincoln-Way West probably will be in the playoffs if it finishes 5-4, but to make absolutely sure, the Warriors’ goal is to get their sixth victory here. West had lost three straight before beating Thornridge, 42-0, last week. Sandburg, which has lost to Lincoln-Way Central, 35-10, and to Lincoln-Way East, 64-14, is coming off a 3229 Week 8 victory at Fort Zumwalt West of O’Fallon, Missouri.

The pick: Lincoln-Way West METEA VALLEY AT LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

MOUNT CARMEL AT PROVIDENCE Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday Last year: Mount Carmel 13, Providence 0 Records: Mount Carmel 4-4, 0-3 in Chicago Catholic Blue; Providence 3-5, 0-3 The skinny: Having a Mount Carmel vs.

Providence season finale where both are winless in the Chicago Catholic Blue indeed is rare. The Caravan, though, may be the best 4-4 team in the state with four blowout wins and losses of 35-28 to Loyola, 31-28 to St Rita, 49-42 to Brother Rice and 30-26 to Montini on its ledger. The Celtics are not playoff eligible but hope to eliminate Mount Carmel from the postseason.

The pick: Mount Carmel COAL CITY AT WILMINGTON Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Wilmington 20, Coal City 16 Records: Coal City 5-3, Wilmington 8-0 The skinny: The Wilmington vs. Coal City rivalry is one of the best among small schools in the state. If the Coalers, who are coming off a 10-6 win over Peotone that made them playoff eligible, hope to pull the upset, they must find a way to stifle area rushing leader Owen Weaver, who has 1,466 yards, a 9.8 average, and 27 touchdowns.

The pick: Wilmington GENESEO AT MORRIS Kickoff: 7:15 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Geneseo 6-2, Morris 6-2 AP rankings: Geneseo is honorable mention in Class 4A, Morris is No. 6 in Class 5A. The skinny: If Morris can win this Northern Illinois Big 12 crossover, the Redskins likely would have a home game in the opening round of the Class 5A playoffs. Geneseo lost to Sterling, 49-7, and to Rochelle, 31-0, in Weeks 5 and 6 but recovered to beat LaSalle-Peru, 34-13 and Kaneland, 31-28. Morris beat Kaneland, 34-3, and lost to Rochelle, 21-14, earlier.

The pick: Morris

MARIST AT JOLIET CATHOLIC Kickoff: 7:30 p.m. Friday at Memorial Stadium Last year: JCA 35, Marist 28 Records: Marist 7-1, 6-0 in East Suburban Catholic; JCA 1-7, 1-5 AP rankings: Marist is No. 10 in Class 8A. The skinny: It felt like old times last week when JCA ran over Marian Catholic, 55-7.

The Hilltoppers would love to close out the season with another victory, but it won’t be easy. Marist is among the best opponents JCA has faced all season. Hilltoppers sophomore running back Keenan Hailey has rushed for 1,076 yards.

The pick: Marist

to unbeaten Bradley in Week 6. The Knights could get a first-round home playoff game with a victory.

JOLIET WEST AT PLAINFIELD NORTH Kickoff: 7 p.m. Friday Last year: Did not meet.

Records: Joliet West 6-2, 6-2 in Southwest Prairie; Plainfield North 6-2, 6-2 The skinny: The two Tigers will battle for sole possession of third place in the SPC. Both teams have lost only to Oswego and Oswego East, and Joliet West has won five straight. Both already are playoff teams.

North is hoping to get a seventh win and perhaps land a home game in the Class 7A bracket. A key is which offense – Jaxon Aubry-led West or Brady Miller-led North – can be more effective against the opposition’s strong defense.

The pick: Plainfield North

28 PREP FOOTBALL

The rivalry renewed – Coal City visits Wilmington

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media correspondent WILMINGTON – Another edition of “The Wilmington Experience” and one of the most intense football rivalries in Illinois will take center stage Friday night at Becker Field.

The past eight times the Wildcats of Wilmington and the Coalers of Coal City have met, each side has won four.

Shortly before the scheduled 7:15 p.m. kickoff, the Wilmington marching band, cheerleaders, pompom squads, students and a gauntlet of motorcycles will form a tunnel, awaiting

their Wildcats.

Storming out of the woods, as smoke and fireworks light up the Wilmington sky, motorcycles revving up their engines and the marching band playing the Wilmington fight song, the Wildcats will pour onto Becker Field. An ear-shattering blast from a vintage Civil War cannon will conclude the pregame festivities.

Wilmington (8-0, 5-0) has won its ninth consecutive Interstate Eight Small championship. The Wildcats, in fact, have won 47 consecutive I-8 Small games dating to a 13-8 loss to Plano on Week 6 in 2007.

Wildcats coach Jeff Reents picked

up the 200th victory in his 23-year Wilmington career this season when the Wildcats beat Seeneca, 43-6, on Sept. 23.

Wilmington not only is ranked No. 1 among small school in the Joliet area and No. 2 in The Associated Press’ Class 3A state poll, but the Wildcats also feature the area rushing and scoring leader in Owen Weaver.

With his 1,445 rushing yards and 27 touchdowns, the 6-foot, 194-pound senior running back/linebacker has done it all. On defense, along with 5-11, 183-pound linebacker Brent McWilliams, Weaver has caused havoc for enemy offenses.

Coal City (5-3, 2-3) is led by coach Lenny Onsen. In his 17th season with the Coalers, Onsen’s teams have won 122 games. They finished fourth in the I-8 Large this season.

The Coalers are led by senior quarterback Christian Anderson, who has thrown more than 700 yards and six touchdowns. Running back Nick Hayden leads the Coalers’ ground attack with 497 yards. The stingy Coaler defense has allowed a mere 14 points a game.

The weather forecast is perfect for football. It should be another thrilling night as the Wildcats and Coalers renew their rivalry.

GREEN BAY 26, BEARS 10

By GENARO C. ARMAS The Associated Press

Bears players celebrate after outside linebacker Leonard Floyd recovers a fumble by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers for a touchdown during the second half Thursday in Green Bay, Wis. AP photo

Kadeem Carey had 48 yards on 10 carries, including a 24-yarder. Receiver Alshon Jeffery was held to three catches for 33 yards against a Packers secondary without its top three cornerbacks because of injuries.

It got so bad for the Bears that Rodgers had more completions (37) than the

Bears had offensive plays (36) by 5:31 of the fourth quarter.

That 37th completion for Rodgers was 2-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb for a 16-point lead.

Adams, Montgomery and Cobb each finished with at least 10 receptions.

Hoyer hurt: Hoyer left early in the

second quarter after getting hit by Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews on an incompletion on third-and-6 from midfield. The right-handed Hoyer looked as if he landed on his left arm. He was attended to by trainers on the field for a couple minutes before going to the locker room. Hoyer was 4 of 11 for 49 yards.

BEARS NOTES

Floyd finally looks like a first-round draft pick

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com GREEN BAY, Wis. – In a season when the Bears just want to see some positive developments from their draft picks, Leonard Floyd provided that Thursday night in a losing effort.

Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio has said all the first-round pick has to do is stay healthy and he can be an impact player, and Floyd showed that with two sacks, including a strip sack of Aaron Rodgers, which he recovered for a touchdown to put the Bears up, 10-6, in the third quarter.

Floyd was relentless on the thirddown play, with Rodgers maneuvering around the pocket. On his first sack, Floyd showed some versatility with an inside move to get to the Packers’ quarterback. He added a third QB hit on a rush that forced an

incomplete pass.

With Brian Hoyer sidelined, the Bears’ offense couldn’t get going, and Rodgers lit up the Bears after the strip-sack, leading Green Bay to a 26-10 victory, but in a lost season, the Bears need positive returns from their early draft picks.

The rookie had missed the previous two games with a calf injury, yet another hiccup in his development, as Floyd struggled to stay healthy in the preseason. On a night with so much focus on the return of another outside linebacker, Pernell McPhee, it was Floyd who flashed. The Bears and Ryan Pace need to continue to see glimpses like that of their foundation for hope moving forward.

McPhee returns: The Bears activated Pernell McPhee off the physically-unable-to-perform list four hours before kickoff, getting their defensive

leader back on the field for his first game of 2016. McPhee, who had offseason knee surgery, didn’t practice at all in OTAs, minicamp or training camp before returning to the practice field last Friday.

In his first game back, McPhee first played on the second series for Green Bay. He got limited action throughout but did not make the stat sheet.

Injury issues at guard: Left guard Josh Sitton was unable to play against his former team, as he was inactive with an ankle injury he suffered late against Jacksonville. Sitton had started 73 consecutive games, dating to Week 14 of 2011. That streak ranked third among active guards in the NFL. Eric Kush, claimed by the Bears before the start of the season, got the start, which was the second of his

career – he started one game for the Chiefs in 2013. Kush had yet to appear in a game for the Bears this season.

Kush got the nod over Ted Larsen, who eventually came in to play right guard in the second quarter for Pro Bowler Kyle Long, who left with an arm injury and did not return.

Quick hits: Jay Cutler, Jeremy Langford, Eddie Royal, Deiondre’ Hall, Eddie Goldman, Sitton and DeAndre Houston-Carson were inactive for the Bears. … Tracy Porter was active and started, covering Jordy Nelson most of the night. Porter had been questionable with a knee injury. He did have to leave for a play early in the third quarter but returned. … De’Vante Bausby got his first NFL start at cornerback for Bryce Callahan, although Callahan (hamstring) did rotate at times. Bausby picked up a few penalties on the night.

• Friday, October 21, 2016

GREEN BAY, Wis. – Aaron Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery emerged as playmakers in the second half and the Green Bay Packers beat the offensively challenged Bears, 26-10, Thursday night.

Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting a franchise record for completions in a game in the Packers’ first contest without injured running back Eddie Lacy.

The Packers (4-2) moved effectively on short gains most of the night, but couldn’t break into the end zone until Adams caught the first of his two touchdown receptions with 9:11 left in the third quarter for a 13-10 lead.

Rodgers and Adams combined again for a 4-yard score on the first play of fourth quarter for a 10-point lead.

It was effectively over from there for the Bears (1-6), who lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter.

With Jay Cutler already out with a right thumb injury, the Bears turned to third-stringer Matt Barkley.

An offense that was already 31st in the league in scoring got worse. Barkley was 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions. Coach John Fox tried to lean on the rush against the NFL’s third-best run defense. It didn’t work either.

Cleveland’s fairytale year gets better as Indians in Series

By TOM WITHERS

The Associated Press CLEVELAND – The grueling fourmonth championship drought could soon be over.

Cleveland, yes, Cleveland, a city kicked around for years and where sports heartbreak was engrained in the collective DNA of generations of fans and misery was a fumble or John Elway touchdown pass away, is on deck for another title celebration.

This year, everyone else is playing for second place. It’s Cleveland’s turn in the spotlight.

The empty cups and bottles had barely been cleaned up from the summer-long party after LeBron James and the Cavaliers stormed back to win the win the NBA Finals, when along come these improbable Indians, a team that has defied the odds all season and advanced to the World Series for the first time since 1997.

And in a perfect sports storm almost unimaginable to the most optimistic fan, the Cavs will receive their diamond-studded rings Tuesday night at Quicken Loans Arena and become the first Cleveland team since 1964 to hoist

a world championship banner as the Indians throw out the first pitch in Game 1 next door at Progressive Field.

“Is there any better way?” asked James, the star whose return home in 2014 triggered a wave of hope across Northeast Ohio. “I don’t know, having an ice cream truck outside both arenas at the same time as well. It’s great. We get to host the World Series and we get our rings on the same night – at the same time.

“If we had a retractable roof it would be probably the loudest (sound) we ever heard, so it’s pretty special,” he said.

For years, Cleveland was little more than a punchline to outsiders – a city dubbed The Mistake On The Lake.

These days, the joke’s on everyone else. Cleveland is undergoing a 21st century renaissance that intensified when the Cavs stopped the city’s dry spell without a major pro sports championship at 52 years.

Now the city’s abuzz about the Indians, who haven’t won the World Series since 1948.

On Thursday, the final World Series tickets sold out in 15 minutes and fans endured long lines to buy merchandise commemorating the AL pennant.

Claudia Beal was one of them, and as she waited patiently at a sporting goods store in suburban Westlake, the mother of three boys was savoring every second.

“When I moved here, people thought I was crazy. They were like, ‘Oh, Cleveland,’” she said, rolling her eyes. “And now they see what it’s like and we’re getting our turn. I think everyone now realizes what a great city it is. It has this bad rap. I didn’t know I was going to move here, and once I got here, I was like, this is amazing.”

And as Cleveland’s image changes, so does its people.

By winning it all, the Cavs inspired confidence in fans who grew to expect the worst in big moments. They’d been tortured by Elway beating the Browns in AFC championship games, Michael Jordan knocking down a game-winning shot to sink the Cavs and the Indians losing Game 7 to Florida in ‘97.

But James and his teammates, who have rallied behind the Indians at playoff games this October, gave fans the belief anything is possible. They also took some of the pressure off the city’s other teams.

“That’s part of my whole mindset is

to inspire as many people as I possibly can – from kids growing up in my inner city to professional athletes in our city,” James said.

Cavs coach Tyronn Lue has entrenched himself into Cleveland since arriving two years ago. Even now, months after his team’s historic comeback, he’s stopped by fans basking in a title that was always out of reach.

“I don’t know why, but they do come up to me and thank me,” Lue said, smiling. “We’re champs and they carry themselves like that and rightfully so.”

Anne Balk feels grateful. Like so many Cleveland fans, she’s enjoying this 2016 joyride. Her journey, though, has deeper meaning.

As the Cavs marched toward a championship, she gave birth and spent many nights in front of the TV watching playoff games along with her baby boy, Bodhi.

In a few years, Balk, who shopped for souvenirs while wearing a black hoodie that said, “Ohio Against The World,” will tell her son the amazing story of his first seasons as a Cleveland fan.

“You know,” she said. “This has been quite year for us.”

NBA PRESEASON: HAWKS 97, BULLS 81 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OMAHA, Neb. – Dwight Howard had 16 points and 15 rebounds in a strong finish to his first preseason with the Hawks, as the Hawks beat the Bulls, 97-81.

Kyle Korver, who played at Creighton, also scored 16 points as Atlanta finished 5-2.

Jimmy Butler scored 16 points as the Bulls wrapped up exhibition play at 3-4.

HAWKS: Kent Bazemore had 15 points and nine rebounds. ... Korver made four 3-pointers.

BULLS: Doug McDermott, another former Creighton star playing in his college arena, scored 16 points but shot 5 for 15. ... Dwyane Wade (3 for 14) and Rajon Rondo (1 for 7) combined for just 11 points. Both had six assists.

UP NEXT: Atlanta (5-2) hosts Washington next Thursday in its season opener. The Bulls (3-4) also open Thursday against Boston.

Gone is Chicago native Derrick Rose – after being dealt to New York for center Robin Lopez and guard Jerian Grant. So is Joakim Noah, who signed with Knicks not long after the big trade. Pau Gasol went to San Antonio as a free agent.

GIRLS STATE TENNIS TOURNAMENT

Joliet Catholic Academy contingent starts strong at state tennis tourney STAFF REPORT BUFFALO GROVE – The Joliet Catholic Academy contingent led the way Thursday as play got under way at the Girls State Tennis Tournament.

The Angels doubles tandem of seniors Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison, the No. 1 seed, won its first two matches in the Class 1A tournament in straight sets. In fact, Bauer and Hutchison, who together are three-time sectional champions and four-time state qualifiers, lost only two games in those two victories.

Meanwhile, Angels freshman Mia Bertino, a 9-16 seed in the first Class 1A tournament ever, scored a pair of straight-set victories in singles, and she lost one game total.

JCA picked up eight points in the teams standings, good for a seventh-place tie.

Another entry in the Class 1A field, Morris senior Megan Davy, a fourtime state qualifier, won her first two matches in straight sets to advance to the third round.

Meanwhile, the Providence Catholic contingent was ousted from Class 1A in the double-elimination tournament. Celtics sophomore Gwen Milas lost in the opening round, then won a consolation-bracket match before losing in the second round of consolation. Junior Sophie Davis lost twice in straight sets.

In doubles, the Providence duo of sophomore Bridget Koval and junior Grace Monahan fell by 6-3, 6-3, and 6-1, 6-2 scores.

In the Class 2A tournament, an up-

set struck early as Joliet West Co-op junior Eileen Carney, a three-time sectional champion and a 9-16 seed, fell in her opening match to Dhwani Kumar of Stevenson, 6-4, 6-4. Carney rebounded to win two consolation matches in straight sets and stay alive.

Plainfield North junior Gabby Ochalik won her first match in straight sets but lost a 3-6, 6-2, 6-0 decision to Kenwood’s Sloane Williams before being ousted by Neuqua Valley’s Jessica Chen, 6-3, 6-2.

Lincoln-Way Central freshman Emma Rimkunas lost her first match, 6-0, 6-0, then battled before losing to Emma Lai of Rockford Auburn, 6-2, 7-5.

Lockport qualified two doubles teams, and the Porters’ top duo, senior Tomi Jo Mansell and senior Kate Bucheitt, scored a 2-6, 6-3, 6-3 win in the opener against a Sandburg pair, then lost 6-3, 6-4 and won 6-4, 6-4 to stay alive.

The Porters’ team of junior Kaitlyn Graves and sophomore Brianna Hillock won its first match in straight sets, then lost twice in straight sets and was eliminated.

Lincoln-Way East had three entries at state. Junior Erin Klein went 1-2 in three straight-set singles matches and was ousted.

The Griffins’ doubles pairs of seniors Jade Christensen and Caroline Kilrea and juniors Makenzie Helsel and Cassie Weyker both lost in the opening round but stayed alive in the consolation bracket. Christensen-Kilrea finished the day 1-1 and Helsel-Weyker 2-1.

Jesus Reyes infuses his business with art and plenty of meaning

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – It’s not enough for Jesus Reyes of Rockdale simply to hand print his fitness apparel line.

Each item must inspire the wearer in some way. The name of Reyes’ company is Corazón De Rey, or “heart of a king,” and it is this spirit Reyes wants to convey through each step of the production and marketing process.

“We want people to follow their dreams,” Reyes said. “Most fitness apparel brands don’t have much meaning. ‘This is what’s popular right now.

Let’s make a quick buck off it.’ We want our apparel to have some kind of meaning, to remind people when they are wearing it what their goals are in life and not to give up on their dreams.”

Reyes ensures his customers don’t miss that message. Printed on Reyes’ products are messages such as “Luck: It’s called hard work” and “Do it with heart.” Each page of his company’s website contains a few lines of inspiration.

The blue colors on the lion gracing the “about us” page signify burning passion, Reyes said, because “the hottest flame burns blue.” To get people’s attention, Reyes chose a Spanish phrase for his company’s name.

“When they ask what it means, it’s an ice breaker,” he said. “Instead of just reading it, people will go away and think about it more.”

A huge part of Corazón De Rey is “giving back,” Reyes said, such as the shirt it designed for cancer awareness. Proceeds benefit The Samfund, which “supports young adult cancer survivors in the United States as they recover from the financial impact of cancer treatment,” according to The Samfund website at www.thesamfund.org.

Focused

According to a 2008 Herald-News story, Reyes’ interest in graphic design was piqued after taking a class in the subject when he was a student at Joliet Catholic Academy. He wanted to shoot his own photos for projects, so his parents bought him a digital camera for Christmas.

Reyes and the camera became inseparable. He shot events and objects

“I pushed the button, and all of a sudden they both got scared,” Reyes said in the Herald-News story. “I got them with their wings spread out.

That one turned out pretty good.”

Reyes submitted some of his photos to the Herald-News’ former “In Focus” feature, which ran reader submissions. He later received a bachelor’s degree in graphic art from the University of St. Francis in Joliet.

His photography is an important part of his business, especially when it comes to shooting his products. He scouts interesting locations for modeling the apparel.

“The only way to have any kind of art is to do it yourself,” Reyes said.

“You don’t copy and paste something else.”

Handmade

Two years ago, Reyes founded

Corazón De Rey with the help of his two brothers, Lorenzo Reyes and Jose Reyes, also of Rockdale. All three men, Jesus included, work second jobs, too.

Jesus said he is a graphic designer and printer at Sharp Sports in Shorewood. He runs Corazón De Rey in the same location after hours, he added.

Jesus screen prints his apparel by hand, not by machine, although ma-

chine printing is more common today, he said.

After designing the artwork, Jesus transfers it to a transparent sheet.

From the sheet, it goes to the actual screen, he said. He then puts ink through the screen onto the garment, he added.

“It takes me about an hour to set it up, but the printing goes pretty quickly,” Jesus said.

Although each particular item will be printed exactly like the one before it, each item – because it is handmade – also is unique, Jesus said. He aims for perfection and takes his time attaining it.

“We don’t rush anything,” he said.

Chris Sharp, co-owner with her husband, Jim Sharp, of Sharp Sports, said she and Jim treat their employees as family, which is why they don’t mind helping Jesus with his business.

“My husband and I started this company in 2000,” Chris said. “We know how challenging it can be to get a head start.”

Jesus has worked for Sharp Sports for 18 months, Chris said. His work ethic is solid.

“He’s a very loyal employee, and he works very hard,” Chris said. “He’s very dedicated to quality.”

ROMEOVILLE – A new edible garden will be among the stops for Irene King’s highly regarded summer reading program next year thanks to a grant from the Valley View School District 365U nutrition services department.

This will become the ninth VVSD school to build an edible garden.

Tentative plans for the Romeoville elementary school call for anywhere from six to eight raised beds that will be built this fall in an area on the north side of the school by second-grade classrooms.

Springtime plantings will include a variety of fruits, vegetables and spices.

Possibilities include benches for children to sit and read.

Principal April Vacik and her team have plenty of help launching the edible garden effort, including a mom who holds a degree in horticulture and is currently doing a business internship in organic gardening, an entire garden design class at Joliet Junior College and the VVSD Facility Operations Department.

Funding will come from the nutrition services grant and a Whole Foods grant secured several years ago by then King

Assistant Principal Laura Lucas. JJC will donate the seeds and seedlings to get things started.

Guidelines offered for PSA testing Note to readers: This column originally ran in October 2014.

Dear Dr. K: I’ve heard so many conflict-

ing opinions about whether or not to get screened for prostate cancer. Are there official guidelines? What do they recommend?

Dear Reader: To say prostate cancer screening has been controversial is an understatement. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Marc Garnick, clinical professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, to hear his thoughts.

The two ways to screen for prostate cancer are the digital rectal exam (DRE) and the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test. PSA levels rise when the prostate has turned cancerous, but they also rise when the prostate is just irritated or damaged. Together, PSA testing and DRE may nearly double the detection rate for early-stage prostate cancer.

But there’s a catch. Because other prostate conditions besides cancer can raise the blood levels of PSA, an elevated PSA does not always mean a man has cancer.

We call a high blood level of PSA in a man without prostate cancer a “false positive” result.

False positive results can cause needless worry. And they may lead to invasive procedures, such as biopsies, to determine if cancer is present. No test is perfect: There always is the chance of a false positive result. But it happens pretty often with the PSA test.

The bigger problem, however, is this: As strange as this may sound, not all cancers are bad for your health. Some prostate cancers are so small and slow-growing they will never spread and cause problems: You’ll die of something else. You’ll die with prostate cancer, but not from

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff prostate cancer.

Of course, some prostate cancers are aggressive and very definitely a threat to a man’s health. So what we really want to have is a screening test that detects these aggressive prostate cancers.

Unfortunately, the PSA test cannot distinguish well between aggressive and slow-growing tumors. The former may require immediate treatment, while the latter may need no active treatment at all.

A final weakness of the PSA test is it does not detect all cancers. In other words, just as the test can be falsely positive, it also can be falsely negative: It comes back normal (“negative”), but you really do have prostate cancer. In such cases, a PSA test offers a false sense of security.

In 2013, the American Urological Association came out with new guidelines that are more or less in line with those of other groups. These guidelines advise against routine screening for men at average risk who are younger than age 55 or older than age 70. For men aged 55 to 69, the guidelines advise the doctor and patient make the decision together, based on a man’s individual risks, preferences and values.

I order PSA tests in many men aged 55 to 70. But like many doctors, what I’m waiting for is a better test that detects aggressive prostate cancers accurately and ignores the slow-growing ones.

experiences and their thoughts on that letter.

Some suggested friends may not invite the woman because they don’t want her to feel like a “third wheel,” but advised “Lonely” to speak up and tell them, indeed, she would like to be included. Others thought people assume a widow is emotionally needy, so they don’t want to be involved with her.

Some readers also wondered how often “Lonely” and her husband had invited single women to join them for a meal, weekend outing or evening event while he was still alive. The answer to that question could provide insight.

A majority of those who wrote agreed with me it’s important “Lonely” cultivate new interests, and along with them, new friends.

She also should be encouraged to meet people in different locations, or even consider moving for a fresh start.

grew up the third of four children.

Both my older brothers chose to go into engineering (the field my father is in). I rocked the boat and opted to go into education. All during college and after, my parents told me I had chosen the wrong career and would never have any money.

Ten years later, I’m still getting constant comments about my career choice and financial status. They make little jabs like, “... but we know you can’t afford it,” and, “Is this too expensive for you?” which echo at family gatherings to the point neither my husband nor I want to be there.

We both work hard and, while we might struggle, we never ask for financial assistance.

How can I get my family to stop these comments? – Educator In The Midwest Dear Educator: You are being picked on not only because of your career choice and its salary level, but also the fact you didn’t fall into line as your siblings did and do what your parents wanted.

Much as we might wish to, we cannot dictate the behavior of others. If you have told your family their comments bother you and they persist, you will have to focus on the importance of the field you chose and the contribution to society you are making. And attend those family gatherings less often.

Dear Abby: “Lonely Widow In Fort Myers, Florida” (May 16) asked why friends ignore a woman when she becomes a widow. I experienced the same thing when I was widowed at 50.

There are several reasons why friends drop you when your spouse dies. One is fear of their own mortality. Another is perhaps the husband (or wife) was the social one. Or the women are afraid you are going to steal their husband.

I was hurt at first, but then I realized they were not true friends. I now have new friends, and I’m enjoying every minute we share. – Joy

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Stand tall and look for answers. Take note of what others do and say, and make decisions based on what will work best for you.

Walk away if pressure or force is being applied.

Deal with institutions and authority figures cautiously.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t expect others to agree with you or give you handouts.

Emotions will be difficult to control. Back away before you end up saying or doing something you’ll regret.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – It’s important to do sufficient research before you make a move. Let

your unique style lead the way. Less talk and more action will bring results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be prepared to make changes that will improve your current living arrangement. Fixing up your surroundings or sharing your space with someone special will improve your day. Love is in the stars.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Concentrate on what you can do for others, not on how you can dismantle someone’s dreams. Offering constructive suggestions and worthwhile solutions will help you avoid a fight and gain respect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You can offer help without letting it cost you financially. A partnership can be formed that will change your life.

Romance will bring a renewed commitment.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Partnerships will be daunting if you cannot bring yourself to stand up for your rights. Step back and re-evaluate the importance of troubling personal or professional connections.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Emotional matters will escalate quickly. Think before you tackle something you aren’t ready to deal with.

Formulate the best way to keep the peace and solve the problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Getting together with peers, family or people you can learn from will lead to new opportunities and greater self-awareness. Don’t fear doing things differently or going it alone.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Develop an idea you

have been contemplating to discover what you will need to bring your plan to fruition. Discuss possibilities with someone you trust.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Overspending, overdoing it and being indulgent will add to your stress. Do your best to be moderate and willing to listen and learn.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t take no for an answer. Your persuasive skills will help you get your way and enforce new plans. Love and romance will improve your life and bring you satisfaction and happiness.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Look for advice from someone who has more experience than you.

You may not like what you hear, but it will help you come up with a beneficial plan.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Carry out changes based on what will make you most comfortable. A problem with someone who is trying to push you in a direction you don’t want to go will have to be resolved if you plan to remain in touch. Focus on making personal improvements and developing healthy relationships.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Follow a dream and explore how you can turn something you love doing into a profitable venture. Don’t let anyone discourage you from at least checking out the possibilities that are there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Refuse to let your emotions take control when restraint and mind-

fulness are what’s needed. Observe, take notes and plan your strategy behind closed doors.

Protect your reputation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – An emotional situation revolving around money, a joint venture or someone else’s estate or responsibilities is best handled quickly to avoid any misgivings or outside interference.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep an open mind when dealing with friends, relatives or partners. If you try to compromise and meet others’ demands halfway, you will avoid emotional turmoil. Travel delays are apparent.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Share your financial ideas or make changes to the way you handle your money to ensure you are safe and secure. Make romantic plans for two and

celebrate your good fortune.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take a look inward and assess what you see. If you aren’t happy with your mental, financial or physical state, do something about it. It’s up to you to make things happen.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Be careful around influential or authoritative people, or you may end up becoming a scapegoat. Listen and observe, but don’t share your opinions. Focus on personal achievement and a loved one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will face delays when traveling if your planning is careless.

Visiting places or engaging in events that will introduce you to a different culture is favored.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone in control of a situation that affects you will not be

forthcoming with information you need to make a good decision. Trust your gut to do the right thing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Sign up for something different to gain insight into new possibilities. Don’t fight the impossible, and look for ways you can turn a last-minute change to your advantage.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Don’t reveal your secrets until you are good and ready. Someone will divulge your plans, putting you in an awkward position. Personal improvements will turn out well. Romance is encouraged.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You can offer help, but make sure you get something in return. Sign up for an event or activity that will challenge you physically to ease your stress.

Alexis Carrel, a French surgeon and biologist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1912, said, “To accomplish our destiny it is not enough merely to guard prudently against road accidents. We must also cover before nightfall the distance assigned to each of us.”

The declarer and the defense know the distance assigned to each of them in a deal, and each hopes to cover that distance by nightfall -trick 13.

How can South finish the race first in today’s deal? He is in six spades, and West leads the diamond queen to dummy’s king.

North gambled slightly by jumping to four no-trump, because South might have had two (or three) low clubs. But here it worked out.

South has two minor-suit losers and only 11 winners: six spades, three hearts and two diamonds. Since declarer needs to establish dummy’s fifth club, he must ruff three clubs in his hand. This requires four dummy entries -- three for the ruffs and one to reach the club queen. What are they?

Declarer immediately concedes that club trick. Suppose East wins and returns a diamond. South takes that trick on the board (entry one), ruffs a club high, plays a spade to dummy’s jack (entry two), ruffs a club (happy to see both opponents follow suit), leads a spade to dummy’s queen (entry three), and ruffs a third club.

Almost home, declarer draws West’s last trump, plays a heart to dummy’s queen (entry four), and discards his last diamond on the club queen (or, if he is a show-off, the club two!).
